Inspired by the this week's London Fashion Week we thought we would put together our very own lookbook of Hang-Up's current collection with the likes of Harland Miller, Jose Parla, Nick Walker, Rosie Emerson and others stealing the show.
Find below the pieces that highlight the diversity and allure of our current collection.

Internationally renowned contemporary artist Dave White is certainly one to look out for if you are in the search of new artworks to add to your treasure, or if you are a first time buyer and would love to start your collection with a kick.
In this interview the british artist tells us about his works, his inspirations and most important about the different media he uses to achieve a stunning results both with his originals and limited edition prints.
We are very pleased to represent an artist with his ambition and talent and hope you will enjoy reading this interview as much as we enjoyed writing it!

Limited Edition prints can sometimes have a reputation for being less desirable than original artworks, due to the connotations with reproduction or the editions being too large. In January 2015, we witnessed a shift in the market and the collectors’ taste, judging by the results of London’s auction houses contemporary art evening sales.
It seems that prints are no longer unpopular. On the contrary, in fact, after Phillips’s smart move to replace ‘print’ with ‘editions’ in its ‘Evening and Day Editions’ sale, the selling rate soared to more than 90 percent, reports New York Times. The impressive rate is definitely an indicator of the increasing value of this category.

With ‘Monster’ the new solo show of Magnus Gjoen only few weeks away now, a little recap on the artist’s works might help to fully understand the challenge Magnus has embarked on with his new body of artworks.
The complexity of the human psyche has always been a great subject of interest for the London born artist, who has often relied on the technique of juxtaposition, along with other media, to gently mix together contrasting images in order to convey the idea of preconceived notion of objects.
In his upcoming exhibition Magnus will illustrate the complex yet confused mind of a serial killer using his trademark juxtaposition technique along with combining delicate and decorative imagery with bold geometric shapes and primary colours. Here just a little sneak peek to taste what Monster will look like...

When it comes to matters of the heart, it is often the case that words cannot express or fully grasp the entire spectrum of emotions. Therefore, it is only fair, we thought, to find a better way to portrait it all than with words.
We hand - picked a few of the most inspiring visual examples of love - brutal, sarcastic, pure, deep, optimistic, love inside us, and love on city walls.
We hope you all stay in love!

The one thing that artist Joe Webb cannot probably live without is glue. Yes, glue, that he uses masterfully to stick and compile together quirky juxtaposed vintage images into unique artworks. Their clean aesthetic combine real with a rather surreal undercurrent.
Webb's collages are a refreshing, sophisticated and eye-pleasing visual feast and we are quite excited to have examples of the pieces now on display at Hang-Up.

Earlier on this week, Bonhams London auctioned 33 Banksy works from the extensive private collection of his former agent Steve Lazarides. This is hardly a precedent – in the past ten years, pieces by the anonymous street artist have been auctioned 1,293 times (as per the artnet Price Database. The interesting fact here is, however, as BBC reports, that the works ‘performed extremely well’ (Bonhams), with 30 lots selling above their high estimates.

It's London Art Fair time again. The Fair's 27th edition, located at the Business Design Centre in Islington, welcomed enthusiastic crowds of collectors, dealers and art lovers. The sales in both Modern British Art and Young and Emerging sections were sufficient not only on the opening day, but throughout the whole duration of the exhibit, which came to show that the art market has been quite active in this first month of the year.
For those who are not currently in London and did not have the chance to visit, we have compiled a short overview of some of the new releases that were launched exclusively at the Fair, from artists we follow.

A bit about us

Our Story

Hang-Up is a London based contemporary art gallery located in the vibrant and bohemian neighbourhood of Stoke Newington. The gallery presents a dynamic exhibition program of fresh and forward thinking work from our roster of artists, photographers and makers. We show both young artists at the early stages of their careers alongside established names from the art world. We tie it together by seeking out and showing only those who are inherently creative, artists whom in some way break the mould from the traditional, pushing the boundaries either in terms of their work, their message or both.
